Anthem AVM 60 vs McIntosh MX 122


I realize these are older versions but I’m trying to save more money for great speakers. Considering MagiCos A-5 or Focal Sopra 3 or Wilson Sophia’s- anyway surround processor Anthem 60 ( which meets my needs for 7.2) vs McIntosh MX-122 both having Bluetooth/ 7.2 or better- and both great in just stereo capabilities which would you choose and why? I did also look at the NAD M17 all in the same price range $5k or less. Room is 13x16 surround speakers are B&Ws in walls running Oppo 105d for music and  a SACD along with Blueray disk. Mostly watch movies. I will need power amp ideas as well. Thanks for your help everyone!

They are nearly identical features except for re-configurable speaker terminals are only at the 740 and above, as well as different power outputs depending on the model.

 

We are anthem and nad dealers

The m17 sounds way better then the older avm 60

Also the bluesound streaming is fantastic and

 

Add in completely modular and upgradable infrastructure

 

That should make the nad very apealing
